A Year In Provence with Carol Drinkwater

Episode 4 (1x4)


: 31, 2021

Carol reveals some of the sources of inspiration that feed her writing, ranging from the produce on the farm to the romance of the crumbling buildings and the rugged Cote d'Azur. After Carol and Michel harvest a bumper crop of lemons from the tree in their garden, Carol is inspired to pursue her latest idea for a new novel and heads to Menton on the French Italian border. Here she meets a family of citrus growers who have been producing prized Menton lemons for the past 30 years and discovers how a royal seal of approval from Queen Victoria and her favourite donkey 'Jacquot' put Menton and the south of France firmly on the map as a tourist destination for the English aristocracy.
